A Delaware man pled not guilty today in Philadelphia federal court for allegedly traveling to Pennsylvania to engage in illegal sexual conduct with a minor after initiating contact with her online.

Christopher Steele, also known as "Mike Dozor", 33, of Newark, Del., was indicted March 6 on charges that he persuaded a minor via the internet to engage in sexual conduct, traveled from Delaware to Pennsylvania with the intent of engaging in sexual conduct, and also received child pornography, specifically a visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, according to federal prosecutors.
